Bid Grid window

Open Bid Grid command

Items in Bids check box (Highlight Items in Bids)

Use this command (Show/Hide group of the View tab, or in classic view, View menu > Highlight Items in Bids) to highlight all items in the spreadsheet that are included in subcontractor bids. To turn the highlight on or off, select or clear the Items in Bids check box (in classic view, select the Highlight Items in Bids command from the View menu). The highlight remains on until you turn it off or close the estimate. A ü appears next to the command in the menu when the highlight is on.

Tip: You can choose the font and background color for the highlight in the Spreadsheet options of the Preferences tab (of the Estimating Management Console).
